1 Claim. (crest-45) This invention relates to a carbonating defined by the upstanding side walls 6 and the charger, and it is an object of the invention to inner margins of said members 4 are spaced provide'an apparatus of this kind which is adaptapart a distance fsufiicient to assure in 'connec ed to operate in a manner to assure, effective tion with the side walls taneiiective placement 5 mixing of carbonic gas with water. upon the saddle or body member M of a tank T At the present time it is the general practice of a type generally employed for the storage of to mix carbonic gas and water in portable tanks carbonated water. bymanual operation which for many reasons is The tank T, when placed upon the saddle or unsatisfactory. Another object of the invention body member M is effectively held in such posiis to provide power operated means for this purtion by the retainingmember I having one end pose. i portion hingedly connected, as at 8, with an A still further object of the invention is to upstanding arm 8 arranged substantially cenprovide an apparatus of this kind including a tral of the sidewall 6 of one of 'the'members 4 saddle or body member supported for rocking while the opposite endportion of the member movement and to which is adapted to be held a Strep 1 ie p d With a bifurcated, feet It tank containing a charge of carbonic gas toadapted to eceive a d portion o a red gether with the required amount of Water where- One end port n of this r d H is ine d y conby the rocking movement of the saddle or lbody nected, as at l2, to the side wall 6 of the second member with the tank thereon will result in the mem erfl f e Sadd e or body member M and desired efiective mixing of the gas and water, in transverse alignment with the arm 9.
